So I'm actually planning on making it for this festival, considering it is known to be more economical than most of the euro-festivals. For those of you who don't know the details. I'm listing them below:

Please feel free to share your criticism of this festival if you've attended the previous editions and if you're planning to go this year, any tips/advice would really be cool.

I've been there three times now I think, great fun. Cheap beer, cheap and horrendous food, great atmosphere in the beer tents - not so much in the camping area. Some logistical annoyances, especially when you check in to get your wristband - mainly long lines because they only have a couple of people to check tickets/hand out wristbands. Great fun and hardcore moshing (not as in brutal bros-moshing and karate chops but hardcore as in intense). Bring your own toilet paper, be prepared to ruin your butthole shitting out the crappy food, but no biggie. The worst thing is that they are very bad at announcing changes to the running order, it doesn't happen a lot but I missed Ahab a few years back because nobody told us they were moved from around 23.00 to 19.00 in the evening. Sound is great, people are fun and you can get very, very drunk for very, very little money. I might go to Neurotic this year instead because of the line up, but I love BA for atmosphere, international friends that come back year after year and the prices.

^ A friend was there last year and he said the exact same thing about it being cheap and how much fun it was etc. I really didn't know about the food haha. I'll definitely be prepared for that if I can make it. I see what you mean about Neurotic's lineup. I really hope Carcass gets added to BA as well. Thanks for the tips man.

I'll be there next year! Can't wait, the line up is great so far. This will be my second time after 2010. The line up so far is a lot better than Hellfest's is, I reckon. I'm down to meet up with some MA-ers!

According to the Brutal Assault website the show will include Frank! Such great news, I've been waiting forever to see Suffocation. Man, this line up is simply unbeatable. They could stop announcing bands right now and I'd be more than satisfied.

New bands to the lineup (added a while ago)Katalepsy, Pro-Pain and Brotherhood of the Lake

Unfortunately, I'm not going be able to make it this year One major reason is that I got diagnosed with lymphoma (last month) and I will have to undergo a 6 month chemo treatment. Oh well, maybe next year.
